Cipolla is kidding... why he doesnt retire the season and go home to relax, his performance is more than funny in last couple of weeks... :mad::mad::mad:

I don't think any Italian player has tennis on his mind at the moment.

I think now your italian is nothing better than Geherke
( weak on courts and weak in Szczecin casino , Jirka and Oskar were better )

I think, that the tragedy of FEDERICO LUZZI has not touched only the italian players, it might involve any tennis player, who personnaly knew Federico or even if he did not... Why for example Bolelli is playing ok? - And Cipolla was strugling even before the pass away of Luzzi... I think Cipolla is very much tired, has had a good season, so there is no reason why to play matches without fire, just to go there and lose 12:1 in fourty minutes to "average" player like Smeets is...

Of course all players are affected to some extent, but if you have been to tournaments, you know that the Italian group is very close together, so I believe that it will affect them even more.

As to the fatigue, it is mostly mental. Flavio's confidence has been low and this means some bad losses can happen (e.g. against Snobel, even if that guy has absolutely the worst game for Flavio to come across). As for this match, I think the death of Luzzi will have played a big role too.

WTF Istomin, terrible loss :silly:
Still no top-100 for him. Should be fine for the AO cut, but all he needs to do is win a few matches to start 2009 top-100. So why not do that :cool:
Well done to Bogomolov and Kim, keep it up

Any insight as to whether or not it's worth going to the final tomorrow? I kind of want to go shopping on the opposite end of town. But if it's worth it, perhaps I'll put off shopping for another day. Thoughts, anybody?

If I had to guess I think the atmosphere could be a little subdued -- for example if Lee had made the final the interest would be much greater. But I really have no idea about the attendance in Korean tennis tournaments.

But I think the match itself could could be pretty close and interesting.

Minar isn't exactly the most spectacular player to watch. He lacks charisma, though his play can be very efficient. Bogomolov is much more charismatic, but can act a bit like a jerk on court. For me, the match wouldn't be that interesting, even if the level of play can be expected to be quite high.
